I am running a dedicated server on a spare PC. It ran fine with A20.5. I was even able to setup and launch modded versions of the server. Ran Undead Legacy, Darkness Falls, and just a lightly modded version of the vanilla server. I could launch any version and play for hours with no issues.
Then I wiped and formatted the drive and did a clean install of SteamCMD and the 7DtD server files. (Wanted to play the latest versions of DF and UL...)
Since then, the server has been unstable and throwing massive amounts of red codes during game play. We consistently get one red code at launch about Steam being an unknown platform.
The glitches start as soon as you log in. You immediately have a double toolbar, as if you were in Creative Mode or World Editor, but a couple slots of the toolbar don't work. They just eat anything placed there.
Player created storage items are all ticking time bombs. You never know when you might access one and then be unable to interact with anything else.
My settings and parameters are the same as they were for a20.5. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, validated multiple times on server and client, reinstalled Microsoft C++ Redistributables 2022, even tried modding the server. Gigglefairies HUD mod worked and eliminated the double toolbar, but none of the other mods worked on the server. Not even client side only mods.
Not sure what I am doing wrong. Tomorrow I will try completely uninstalling the game from the client side and try a clean install there, but I'm certain the issue is server side. When I host the game on my PC instead of the server, everything works. Modded or not.
Any help or advice would be great.
